The global Shore Power market is expected to grow from USD 1.50 billion in 2021 to USD 3.73 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 12.4% during the Projection period 2022-2029. The rise in demand to reduce noise pollution and carbon emissions has primarily driven the growth of the global shore power market.
Ocean-going vessels require power to maintain heating, lights and cooling along with the other essential vessel functions. This power is mainly provided by running the diesel-fueled auxiliary engines of the vessel. However, the shore power, a process of providing electrical power from the shore to a vessel at berth is used to enable auxiliary engines to be turned off. This way, shore power virtually eradicates diesel emissions as well as other air pollutants that would otherwise come from running the onboard auxiliary engines of the vessel. By using shore power, different auxiliary systems including air conditioning, lighting, and crew berths use energy from the local electrical grid. Hence, it typically generates zero onsite emissions.
The shore power significantly reduces emissions of pollutants that damage air quality and greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions that contribute to climate change. In addition, it reduces engine noise. A number of market players are offering shore power systems that have a unique design, making it easy to install in different situations, while keeping the marina greener and cleaner.

Market Dynamics:
Drivers:
The operation of a diesel engine while docked, adds more pollutants to the air and water along with the production of noise. Hence, the marinas are actively regulating and restricting the use of diesel engines during specific time periods. This has boosted demand for shore power systems as the perfect choice to power the yacht using electricity. The use of shore power while docked, leads to a significant reduction in pollution. For instance, the March 2022 study released by Scotland’s Aberdeen Harbour shows that the green shore power could reduce emissions in ports by over 90%, as well as significantly minimizes air and noise pollution levels.
The worldwide growth in international tourism has boosted cruise passenger traffic. For instance, the latest statistics from Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), the leading cruise industry trade organization, cruising continued at a growth of almost 7% from 2017 to 2018. On the other hand, in May 2022, India announced its plans to increase cruise passenger traffic from 0.4 million at present to 4 million in upcoming years. Also, according to the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways in the country, the economic potential of cruise tourism is anticipated to go up from $110 million to $5.5 billion by 2030. This growth in cruise passenger traffic further creates demand for shore power infrastructure; hence, fueling the growth of the market.
Restraints:
There is a need to develop an electrical infrastructure to enable the installation of new or retrofit shore power solutions. However, the infrastructure enhancements and installation of equipment for shore power is a significantly capital-intensive task. For instance, the cost of a transformer with a rating of 0.5 to 2 MW for a new shore power system goes up to $75,000, with the whole cost of the installation of about $0.5-2 million. This need for considerably high capital investment may hamper the growth of the market to some extent during the Projection period.
Opportunities:
The ongoing trend of shore power systems integration with wind, solar, and other renewables are expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for the market. For instance, in March 2021, the largest industrial onshore wind farm in Flanders with 18 months of work and 11 new wind turbines has become operational at the Port of Zeebrugge to create shore power. This project resulted from cooperation between ENGIE, Port of Zeebrugge, and International Car Operators, and accounts for 44 MW of renewable energy. Such integrations of shore power systems with wind, solar, and other renewables are opportunistic for the growth of the global market.
Challenges
Shore power needs electrical grid improvements, landside infrastructure, and vessel modifications with significant investment. The shoreside electrical and infrastructure requirements comprise an industrial substation to receive power transmitted from the local grid and a transformer for bringing the voltage levels down to be compatible with the electrical specifications of the ship. On the other hand, infrastructure requirements include circuit breakers, distribution switchgear, underground cable conduits, safety grounding, electrical vaults, and power & communications receptacles and plugs. Such requirements inshore power system poses a number of technical and operational challenges to the market players.
